~ "o"D M
the Opera House To-Day.
This afternoon and evening the Opera
House boards will be occupied by Frank
Jones and his excellent company in the
comedy, Isl Perkins; or, The Girl / Left
Behind Me-" The principal scenes Of the
piece are laid in Pughtown, WeIlsburg
and Wheeling. OF it an exchange says:
a. 81 Perkins, is 8 country gem. His say
ings are wonderfully Yankee. He repre-
sents a national trait Of character. The
house, Monday night wa a rouser. The
thing took. Laughter was prevalent Is
apples this year. Bring out the cider and
doughnuts. A fig for the plot. That is
not worth bothering with. Some Of the
features are thoroughly improbable; but
where Yankee witticisms come in, Jones,
as 81 Perkins is irresistibly funny. The
widow Betsy is a good character. 'Zana'
is not bad; but the charm is in the sayings
of 81 Perkins, and such sayings-well,
they are the cream Of the milk in Yankee
life. ST. come again"

WIND AND RAIN.
MAKES THING VERY UNPLEASANT IN THE
CITY, YESTERDAY.
The Gale UnrNk Several Houses Knocks Over
C~lizasys and Does Other Damsss-Shts
Of the River.

Along with the rain, yesterday morning,
came 4 severe wind storm, and for a time
things movable about the street were given
a pretty lively whirl. The wind seemed
to come from the west and was unusually
strong. While no really serious damage
was done things looked mighty scary for a
time. On the river the waves were raging
and several steamboats, were blown ashore,
among them the Telegram, and navigation
was impossible for 4 time. In all the river
towns in this vicinity more or less damage
was done, but no one is reported as being
hurt.
On the streets in the city pedestrians
had their hats suddenly lifted from their
heads and taken of through the mud while
umbrellas were entirely useless. During
the severest part Of the storm the root OF
the temporary structure over the erema-
tory was lifted up and carried some dis
lance up on the hill where it fell to pieces
IN Peter Kreusch's vineyard. The weather
yane and fancy iron work on top Of the
new steeple Of ST. Johns Church, on
Market street, which is composed uf heavy
gas pipe, was bent over to the eastward
a number of feet, and it looks TO X in 4
dangerous position. 1t will he attended
TO immediately.
A small tin roof which covered the nn-
finished steeple of the Third Presbyterian
church on Jacob street, Eighth ward, was
blown off into = lot below, and several
bricks were displaced. The damage Is
very light.
Quite a panic was caused in the public
school building at BenwOoi. The gale
blew of the belfry and it fell on the east
wing of the building. Fortunately the
roof did not give way, but a quantity Of
plaster fell TO the floor, which caused quite
a panic among the children but no one WAS
injured. The news spread rapidly through
the town and the building was soon
crowded with anxious parents. 1t was
found necessary 10 dismiss the school. The
bell weighed about four hundred pounds,
but it was not blown down.
At Bellaire the roofs of the -Etna glass
works and the b. & U. round house were
both partly damaged. while chimneys,
signs. &c, were tumbled about indiscrim-
lnatcly.
At Moundsyille the tin roof Of the Mound
City Hotel Was lifted of and distributed
all about the vicinity, and boards and rolls
of tin could be found at most any place
within a square. This is the third time
the roof of this building has met with the
same fate. Other smaller accidents were
heard of but were of lesser consequence.
In Wheeling, too, a number OF signs,
chimneys and other like things were blown
about and demolished.
